0 Bed Detached House To Rent

A highly unique and rare opportunity to rent one of the most prestigious and characteristic properties on the highly sought after Hopetoun Estate in South Queensferry.


Right on the shores of The Forth Estuary, this impressive and traditional 5 double bedroom lodge is a stunning dwelling right in the heart of the Estate that boasts the most wonderful views out along the three bridges over the River Forth.

This imposing yet subtle building is steeped in history and would make a wonderful home for today’s modern family. Peacefully located within an enchanting garden and wooded area with lots of wildlife and spectacular views, the property boasts a very tranquil location within this Country Estate boundary and away from any busy roads, the nearest main road would be into South Queensferry with its eclectic shops, restaurants, and bars. Further is the A90 and M90 and very well situated for the commuter to all regions of central Scotland.

The building itself was created by reconfiguring 5 traditional terraced cottages into this single dwelling with a self-contained one bed flat upstairs.

Entry into the house is into a central and spacious reception hall with red cedar feature panelling, corner fireplace and direct access to the substantial garden and grounds. A cloakroom with a traditional WC is located off the hall and double doors open to the beautiful dining room with decorative fireplace and large picture windows out onto the conservatory area. Further doorways lead into the study area and then the full width of the property formal drawing room. This room is bright and spacious with views either side through the windows, it boasts a large feature fireplace and full height sliding glass doors to the garden side of the room.

The more informal East Wing comprises kitchen/breakfasting room, large utility room, and a gun/boot room with a further WC. The kitchen benefits from sea views and direct access to the South facing Terrace, from which the conservatory is accessed. A wide stone staircase from the boot room leads up to the self-contained and modern one bed sizeable flat. There is also a wine cellar accessed from this area.

Back to the beautiful reception hall and a beautiful staircase leads directly up to the galleried landing on the first floor, lit by two windows that frame the stunning view across into Fife over The Firth of Forth. The master bedroom is a delightful bright room with en-suite room and dressing room. The view is southwards over the gardens. The second double bedroom shares a similar outlook. Three further double bedrooms also overlooking the gardens both benefit from wash hand basins and one has built in storage. Also, on this floor and benefitting from the sea views are two interconnecting rooms, a laundry, and a family bathroom as well as a third bathroom.

The separate fully contained one bedroom flat upstairs is a little more modern with living room, kitchen with built in oven/hob and the double bedroom has views over the garden. There is a full bathroom with bath and shower.

The grounds are a very special feature of this property being south facing and sheltered with a magical wooded area at the top of the impressive lawn. In front of the Lodge is a sweeping lawn down to the sea wall and beach area.

To the side of the house is the drive and outbuildings that have a garage, an old stable, a workshop and storerooms.
